This is an interesting idea. I think I've read this comment before somewhere. Are you indicating two separate X beams, one above the other, each...
Hey folks, does anyone have the measurement for this size belt center to center for these size pullies?
HOLY GRANITE!
Ah, gotcha! Some folks leave them inline to take up tension.

Ah, nevermind, I found a straight shank collet chuck with a 1/2" (12mm) straight shaft and ER16 collet. I'm going to cut it down and see what the...
